Developing an industrial process chiller system for low temperature applications has many challenges, but it can be — and has been — done. This article discusses common challenges and shares insights into research that was used to design a chiller system that operates to -45°F (-43°C) fluid temperatures. 

A gathering of process cooling products.

Around this time last year, we were all awakening to the pandemic — and how it might change our plans for 2020 and beyond. Around the same Process Cooling, along with our sister publication, Process Heating, announced the inaugural Process Heating & Cooling Show, originally scheduled for June 2021. 

Designed for precision batching of even small quantities, Model MIM provide accurate readings in a space-saving design, says the manufacturer. 

Typical applications for the FTI QCT_PA12 Series include water treatment for cooling towers and boilers, clean-in-place (CIP) systems, mechanical seal flushing or cooling, process water, cooling loops, reverse osmosis (RO) systems, small-line injection systems, DI water-distribution systems and high purity filtration systems. 

Higher power applications require efficient cooling for high heat loads in compact volumes. Liquid solutions tick all of the boxes.

In thermal power plants, the steam surface condenser is the heart of the operation — and a key element to the plant’s water-steam cycle. A condenser is critical in that its efficiency directly affects the plant’s power-generating capacity, which in turn influences operating costs and the bottom line. 

Due to the extended duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and state regulations in Illinois, the Process Heating & Cooling Show has been postponed to June 15-16, 2022, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill. This inaugural event, which is being produced by BNP Media’s Process Heating and Process Cooling magazines, was originally scheduled to take place June 2021.

Engineers and plant owners are always looking for designs to decrease the overall energy consumption of mechanical cooling systems.
